CRITERIA OF APPROVAL (SDC 33.030)
SDC 33.030 States: "The Director shall approve, approve with conditions or deny the Property Line
Adjustment application. Approval or approval with conditions shall be based on compliance with the
following criteria. The Property Line Adjustment shall not:"
(1) Create a new lot or parcel
Applicant Submittal: No new parcels are created through this serial lot line adjustment.
Finding: The applicant is p.roposing to reconfigure 6 existing parcds: Tax Lot 300 on Lane County
Assessor's Map#18-02-04-ll, Tax Lot 303 on Lane County Assessor's Map#18-02-03, Tax Lots 1100,
1101, 1102 on Lane County Assessor's Map#17-02-34-34, and Tax Lot 602 on Lane County Assessor's
Map#17-02-34-43. Staff concurs with the applicant's finding; the configuration will not create any new
parcels. .
Conclusion: This proposal satisfies Criterion I.
(2) Create a landlocked lot or parcel
Applicant Submittal: Adjusted tax lots 1100 and 303 that will be deeded to Willamalane and adjusted tax
lot 110 I will be landlocked initially, but access will be provided to it via public roads and access
easements as MountainGate is developed according to the approved Master Plan. If deemed appropriate
by the City, a temporary access easement could be established for these parcels.
Finding: TIle proposed Serial Property Line Adjustment creates three landlocked parcels on propet1y that
is zoned and designated for residential development accordmg to the CIty ot Springfield Zoning Diagram
and the Metro Plan.
.---
f(tinding: The land lock.ed parcels proposed are on property approved for residential and park uses in
. accordan. ce with the MountainGate Master Plan (May 13, 1998). Master Plan approval assures available
services and code provisions to guide subsequent phases of development, but does not guarantee
development. .
Finding: The Master Plan approval did not address temporary access easements for individual parcels,
therefore the current access standards of Springfield Development Code Article 16, Residential Districts
must be applied to provide access to the landlocked parcels.

.
/-
[Finding: SDC Section 16.030 allows private access provisions instead of direct access to public rights of
way when an approved development plan exists, the easements are not substitutes for future public streets
shown on the Conceptual Local Street Plan, ana the minimum lot sizes of SDC Article 29 are maintained
on lands outside the City limits. .
~inding: The applicant submitted a draft easement document subsequent to the original application
infomlation (December 17,2003). The easement includes blanket provisions for vehicle and utility
access, natural drainage, maintenance and a sunset clause. The draft proposal does not include final
descriptions and exhibits. ~ .
:"..... ---
Finding: Access to Tax Lots] 100, ] 10 I, and 303 can be provided by private easements in accordance
with SDC Article 16 because there is an approved devel.QQm~nLp]an_(Master.l'lilll), dedication of public
rights of way shown on the Conceptual Local Street Plan will be required in accordance with Articles 16
or 37 prior to further development of proposed parcels, and proposed parcel sizes satisfy the minimum'
requirements of the Springfield Development Code (see Criterion 3, below). .
Conclusion: As proposed; Tax Lots 300, 602 and 1102 will have direct access to public rights of way;
Tax Lots 1100, 110 I and 303 require an approved access easement to comply with SDC Article] 6. TIle

below the minimum estahlished by the applicable zoning districts in the SDC
(APPlicant Sub';littal: This serial lot lin'e adjustment will. actually bring several non-conforming lots into
{comPliance with established lot size standards in the Springfield Development Code.
